Foreword written by Workin' Moms creator, executive producer, writer, and star of the television comedy series, Catherine Reitman.

This book was written by working moms, for working moms. Becoming a mama has a plethora of challenges on its own, and it can be exhausting, even on the best of days. When it comes time to go "back to work," what additional challenges might mom expect? Is it possible to implement conscious parenting while simultaneously achieving career success and also discovering true fulfillment in life? What sort of new learning curves may she face mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually? How might she handle uncharted territory with her family, child(ren), partner, caregiver, colleagues, and the rest of the world in general? How might she adapt to the social status change to "mom" in the public world, while still maintaining the most important role of mom at home in private? Let's get real and start the conversation.

Navigating these waters doesn't have to be so scary, and no mama is ever alone. We as mothers are here to support one another, and lift each other up by sharing our personal trials and triumphs. It takes a village, and it's time for working moms all over the world to feel a sense of unity, positive reinforcement, community, and belonging. All moms deserve the access to wisdom from those who have walked the path before her-no matter how many children she has, what ages they are, whatever mom's age may be, or however long-after mama's gotta go back to work. The goal of this book is to uplift as many moms as possible, from all walks of life, and to better prepare them for what's to come as they embark on the transition between home life and work life. It provides an abundance of hope and inspiration to moms everywhere, that if we can do it, so can YOU
